Saturday night, I went to a Fashion Show called Synesthasia, an Asia-inspired charity fashion show. It was an amazing event that mixed Asian fashion with the best of Montreal's nightlife.
The show was organized by students of McGill and Concordia University, and the money raised was going directly to Ashraya Initiative for Children (AIC) , a charity that aims to provide homes for street kids as well as education and health outreach programs in Pune, India.
I really enjoyed the opening of the show. It was organized in a way that opened our eyes to the contemporary world of fashion and design, and our ears to traditional Asian sounds. Following this introduction, the techno music started and our eyes were fixed to beautiful shinny Indian dresses from Toronto designer Dulhan.
The diverse ethnic backgrounds of the show’s male and female models exemplified the idea of synaesthesia. The event also looked to both the traditional and modern-day elements of Asian culture; for instance in one scene, aspects of classical Japanese culture were mixed with the futuristic, gothic trends of Tokyo’s Harajuku fashion district.
Martial arts and dance crews were also part of the event and they were very enjoyable as most people were not expecting this aspect of the show. Even though it was supposed to be a fashion show, having these performances made the event more theatrical, and they really showed the essence of Asian culture.
After the event, the catwalk became a dance floor, with music provided by Tokyo Nightclub regulars DJ DeLeon, DJ Jemz, DJ Yao, and an up-and-coming group, MTLiens. The after party was great and continued until the later hours of the night. Everyone made their way to the dance floor including the audience, models, and dancer overall concluding to a fun and memorable night.
